Friends, this is the first of a regular e-bulletin about the life and community of Canterbury Cathedral. This has been a centre of prayer, hospitality, and artistic creativity for more than fourteen hundred years; and I hope that this e-bulletin will strengthen the links that unite us all in our affection for this holy place.

Dean of Canterbury |
